"Linda Edwards’ article is a thoughtful examination of the hidden and unexplored role of narrative in legal decisions. The article raises fundamental questions about the nature and boundaries of legal discourse and demonstrates that narrative theory and cognitive study can bridge the distance between what one may call ‘traditionalist legal analysis’ and its ‘oppositionist’ critique. The article is a delight. It joins an arresting image to an elegant argument, and it is beautifully written," Cedrone said in his review.

Professor Edwards is a national leader in the field of legal writing,
having been awarded the 2009 Thomas Blackwell Award for her lifetime
achievements in and contributions to the field.
